Deir al-Balah, Gaza CNN — Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have been displaced multiple times from Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip are now facing another threat – the arrival of harsh winter weather.

On Sunday, the first strong storm to hit Gaza this winter was felt in all parts of the enclave.

In a makeshift displacement camp near the sea in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, thousands of families battled high tides, heavy winds and rainfall that damaged their nylon and plastic tents.

Journalists for CNN saw children walk around barefoot while their parents shoveled in the sand, attempting to build a protective barrier from the sea. Before they could make much progress, the tide washed it away.

“It’s pointless!” one man shouted.

“We came here because the sea was our only protection. And now the sea is attacking us,” another said.

The wooden poles holding up the tents, barely anchored to the ground, shook with every gust of wind. Families shuffled around them in distress, worried they’d collapse.

I’m a guy that searched for results. However, I deleted it.

2. The suffering of the Palestinians was a big discussion yesterday over thanksgiving

I had kids tell me , I still voted for the dems but with them backing this genocide, it’s harder to feel good about it

7. When false presumptions are taken for granted and no longer questioned,

it is indeed harder to feel good about voting for Democrats.

That's the whole purpose of a narrative in which false presumptions are encouraged to be taken for granted.

5. when did the dems become the war mongers?

It is beyond time to rein them in on the promotion of war, don't you think?

6. "more people will die shivering". And not a single mention of the Israeli Jewish hostages.

Are they not people?

Do they not deserve even a passing mention in the article that is titled "‘Winter in Gaza means more people will die shivering’:"?

8. A moral stain on those supporting the campaign of displacement and annihilation.
